Competition Beautiful Day in Texas

[gitchesum]

For a tire Bar B Q that is.



Went out south of town and finished off a set of Michelins today. And, being the computer geeks we are, we had the digicam ready.



Enjoy, but be warned, it's a 6 meg file.

Actually, that was MDW's truck. He's a member here as well.



Yeah, it was new tire time. He figured he would get every penny's worth of tread on those. And yes, they were completely smooth when they day was over.

Ah yes, the original Texas Red Rocket. That was a fun day as well. That was back when 400HP seemed like a lot.





The Boardwalk is growing, new restaurants and such. Not many folks know, that one guys owns everything out there. Lets just say he down well for himself.

 

[Fletcher]

Nice !!!!!

 

[MDW]

That was fun

I normally drive kinda slow which drives Curtis (aka Gitchesum) crazy, so it was fun to turn her loose.

I didn't realize she would smoke the tires up to the 100mph range.

Piers, I guess those new injectors are working :-laf



Thanks for the compliments, that makes all the hard work worth it.

 

[HOSS]

I am looking forward to meeting up with you guys again this year. Make sure to bring your Nitrous this time :-laf

Hoss:

From what I hear I'm going to need more than just nitrous to beat you.

You are doing great work with that truck. I'm very much looking forward to a rematch.

Texas Red Rocket VS The Red Rocket. What a fun race, felt like Nowel was riding with both of us.

Yea, I see that fixed the low end smoke issue, looks to me like it's doing quite well.
